DealNews 2010 Black Friday Predictions

Published September 14, 2010

Has it already been a year? With just over 100 days left until Christmas, we're kicking off the holidays at dealnews with our Black Friday deal predictions, compiled by myself with the help of our expert staff.

It's our third year predicting Black Friday's best deals, and we should tell you whether our predictions from last year were worth the electrons they were printed on. We're happy to report that our 2009 accuracy rate was 84%. (See last year's piece.)

Three quick clarifications before we start prognosticating. First, these are predictions of the best deals for the Black Friday season. They're the lowest of the lows, not averages. (See our Methodology section on the last page.) Second, some of these deals will involve mail-in rebates. However, the good news is that most won't. Best Buy, OfficeMax, and Walmart have long given up on mail-in rebates after numerous customer complaints. Third, we're predicting that these deals occur during "Black Friday Season," a dealnews euphemism for mid-November to Cyber Monday. On to the predictions.

Please note that, although prices sometimes fluctuate or expire
unexpectedly, all products and deals mentioned in this feature were
available at the lowest total price we could find at the time of
publication (unless otherwise specified).
